Elder Scrolls 4 Remake Rumors Gain Traction with New Evidence

Summary

• A developer's LinkedIn profile hints at the active development of an Oblivion remake using Unreal Engine 5.
• Fans are eagerly anticipating an Oblivion remake reveal during an Xbox Developer Direct in 2025, though the event hasn't been confirmed.
• Many fans are also eager for a new Elder Scrolls 6 trailer in 2025.

Rumors of a remake of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion are swirling, bolstered by recent leaks and a developer's LinkedIn profile. The long-awaited project appears to be in active development, with a potential reveal slated for an Xbox Developer Direct in January 2025. While this event has yet to be confirmed, Xbox has a history of hosting Developer Directs in January, making the speculation plausible.

A Technical Art Director at Virtuos, a China-based developer rumored to be working on the project, mentioned on their LinkedIn page that they are involved in an "unannounced Unreal Engine 5 remake for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S." Although Oblivion isn't named explicitly, many believe this refers to the fourth Elder Scrolls game. The use of Unreal Engine 5 suggests a full-fledged remake rather than a simple remaster.

Oblivion, released in 2006, followed The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind and was celebrated for its expansive open world, stunning graphics, and immersive soundtrack. Since 2012, a dedicated community has been working on Skyblivion, a mod that recreates Oblivion using Skyrim's engine. This ambitious project is expected to be released in 2025, adding to the excitement around Oblivion.

In other news, the future of The Elder Scrolls series remains a topic of keen interest. The first and only trailer for The Elder Scrolls 6 was released in 2018. Bethesda Game Studios has confirmed that this game will follow their release of Starfield, with director Todd Howard suggesting a release window of "15 to 17 years after Skyrim." Fans are hopeful for a new trailer before the end of 2025, eager to get more glimpses of what's to come in this beloved franchise.
